Listen to the Spirit with Everything you Do!!!

Hola Mama! Things are going great here! My stomach feels like crap today, but besides that I’m doing great! The food is good and sometimes is awesome and doesn’t do anything to my stomach and other times it destroys me! But I’m slowly getting used to the spicy food here. Slowly but yeah I’m not looking forward to when I come home and all the food that I love tastes bland.

It’s definitely a lot of work here. To learn, it helps to pay 100% attention during lessons; and because I don’t fully understand, it’s hard to pay attention. Spanish is coming slowly, but I can understand more and more each week. I know I have Heavenly Father here helping me too. Also, I read the letter that you sent me in the CCM with the advice and my blessing and that was really inspiring! I love it! It’s a work in progress but I know it will all come eventually!

One experience I had was during and after a lesson. During the lesson, I couldn’t feel the spirit so I said a prayer that my comp would be able to say and teach the things that she needed to hear and it worked! We couldn’t feel the spirit before that because we were just trying to teach her a lesson and not teach according to her needs. We taught somewhat according to her needs but it wasn’t the right thing. It’s so important to listen to the spirit with everything you do. The spirit knows what people need more than we do. So I challenge you to pay extra close attention to the spirit during any lesson, or any time day and night! God knows what’s best for us and works through the spirit. If you have a prompting to do something, then do it!

Thank you for the telling me that you sent my package and what is what. You may have to tell me again later haha. And thank you for the thought as well! I love that talk! and I will be sure to write about what my life would be like without the Book of Mormon.

The members here are also great and super nice and patient with me and my Spanish haha. Also my comp and I are getting along better too! He is awesome. I love the feeling of the spirit here and that my DL (district leader) calls every day for us to report, but also to check up on us. Every now and then we get a call from one of the ZLs (zone leaders) or assistant as well checking up on me.

Side note: after we went shopping today, we went with a member to Tianguis which is like an open market where you can buy anything and I mean literally anything! I bought a sweet Broncos beanie for $150 pesos! I will send you a pic next week. There is so much cool stuff there!

Love you mama!
